Noémi Dos Santos

Welcome!

I’m Noémi, a Certified Professional Coach (ICS, ACC; trained at PCC level) supporting people through moments of transition: when life or work feels uncertain, complex, and yet full of new possibilities.
I help you gain clarity, regulate your emotions, rebuild your self-confidence, reconnect with your identity, strengthen resilience, and make decisions that feel grounded and authentic.

I bring over a decade of experience across psychology, trauma‑informed family work, corporate coaching and organisational wellbeing.
At both McKinsey & Company and BNP Paribas, I supported Partners and senior leaders with multicultural team across the World.
I took part in the Coaching Community leadership, and led McKinsey's Mental Health Department within Lotus, the firm’s wellbeing initiative for the Lisbon office.
Those environments taught me to stay calm, present and attuned while helping people navigate pressure, complexity and change.

Before entering the corporate world, I worked in child development, trauma‑informed programmes and community support, including leadership roles at Body & Soul in London.
This foundation shaped my ability to work with emotional depth, human complexity and resilience.

My approach today is integrative and person‑centred.
I adapt to each client’s needs, drawing from psychological insight, somatic awareness, coaching tools and relational presence. I work with authenticity, safety and empathy, creating a space where you feel supported, understood and able to drop the mask so you can explore what truly matters to you.
I bring a naturally positive and uplifting energy, a sense of lightness and cheerfulness that helps clients see possibilities even in challenging moments. I believe perspective shapes progress: we can look at a situation in a way that motivates and opens new paths, or in a way that weighs us down.
My role is to help you access this perspective to give you strength, encouragement, hope and grounded direction.

As an Afro‑Chinese woman who has lived in France, the UK and Portugal, I understand how identity, culture and belonging shape our inner world and professional lives.
This allows me to support clients navigating cross‑cultural transitions, identity shifts and life abroad with clarity, sensitivity and care.

I’m currently training as an Integrative Psychotherapist, bringing psychological depth, emotional intelligence and an uplifting presence to my coaching.
